Grammy Award-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy; and a popular socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest, have thrown caution to the wind as they involved in a series of heated exchanges on social media.
The “drama” started when Burna Boy took to Instagram to describe Chief Priest as the Owerri version of Rick Ross— a plus-sized American rapper.
Earlier in the week, Burna had posted another message on Instagram implying that pop star, David Adeleke, aka Davido, was living fake life, while “advising” him to desist from doing so in 2025.
Describing Chief Priest as “azaman” a street slang for fraudster, Burna wrote, “No forget say you be Azaman o And dem don gbe your plug wey him name na Omo Igbo for ATL and na u be next #OWerriRickyrozay.”
Not backing down, Chief Priest fired his own salvo, implying that Burna Boy won the Grammy Award by being intimate with embattled American entertainer, P Diddy. He wrote, “Diddy oil the fastest way to PTSD. You never see anything, you and your bend down collect Grammy.”
Going further, Chief Priest recounted how he paid Burna N1m in 2018 to perform as a “backup singer” at his birthday party. He wrote, “Owerri Rick Ross, what a blessing! See where dem dey rate me put. Me & Rosay #CpNosmall.”
He continued, “2018 na 1m naira I pay you to perform as back up artist for my birthday. I get pictures and videos where you dey perform for me. I go lie for you?”
Buttressing his claims, the “celebrity barman” posted videos and pictures from the event. In one of the videos, Burna could be heard referring to Chief Priest as “egede”, a street slang for a particular cult group, and asking for a slice of cake from Cubana.
Not relenting in his attacks, Chief Priest also wrote, “We don dey chop this money before you meet us for queue. Be humble small boy.”
Maintaining that he had been waiting for a long time for this moment to come, Chief Priest alleged that Burna was a debtor. He posted, “The Ferrari’s. The London jewelers debt. I’m coming. I have long waited for this moment. Osubrileeee oooo.”
Responding to the allegation, Burna insisted that he always paid in full for his properties. He wrote, “You don score yourself. Everybody in Lagos knows my style.
All my s**t paid for, sometimes cash sef. If not, I for dey all the blogs by now for owing debts like your boss. Go to Coscharis and service any of your stolen cars; abeg I wan see something. Rooozaaay Igbo voice. Make I relax actually, I no want make you go jail.”
Apparently not fazed by Burna’s riposte, CP dared him to come out with his fleet of cars to know who was way bigger and richer.
Meanwhile, in another viral post, the Grammy winner posted a video of a man who claimed to be CP’s brother saying that he worked as a phone repairer. He pledge to give the alleged brother $30,000 if his followers could find him.
Continuing the “giveaway spree” CP stated that he would give millions of naira to a fan that was kicked by Burna Boy during his performance at a recent show.
Amidst the online feud, many online commentators have called on the warring parties to sheath their swords, with some of them stating that Burna Boy was demystifying his brand with the fight.
